Hello all!! Maybe you can help :) - I just purchased a home and a month in I currently have this problem:

The faucets in my home and shower just recently today started to "BURST" out water. It starts than stops.. and before it turns on it seems as if its spitting out air out of the facuets and shower. It also seems to struggle to spit out water.

Here is the equiptment:

WX-202 Well X-Trol and a Craftsman pump, c48k2ec11c2 3450 RPM, 390.2522 HP-1,

Can anyone help me in the right direction so I can get to showering again.

It sounds as if your pump is sucking air, the main cause of that is a 'dry' well condition, meaning that the water level in the well is down to the inlet of the pump. Or, if the pump is a jet pump (above ground) instead of a submersible pump (in the well) there is a good chance it is sucking air through the suction line fittings etc.. It can also be the dry well thing much more so than if you had a submersible pump.

You need to start water conservation until you find the problem and fix it.
